Potential area where there might be a problem
How I will deal with this problem
Front cover images
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The problems that may occur whilst I gather my front cover images would be; lighting, camera focus, or someone not being able to attend the photo shoot. To prevent this i could make sure the lighting and focus is all set before we start, and to make sure voth the model and i are attending, i can make sure the studio is booked on an appropriate time to suit us both.
Article Inside Magazine
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The problems that could happen inside the magazine could be the colours don’t match or font sizes to prevent this i have to make the article consistant throughout, to do this i have to settle on one colour scheme and font throughout.

Briefs

Briefs 
When centres choose briefs to offer to candidates, they should be guided by their strengths in terms of resources and expertise. Centres should also bear in mind the key areas: forms and conventions, production contexts, the role of technologies, audiences/users and representations. 
The set briefs are as follows: 
Print 
Preliminary exercise: using DTP and an image manipulation program, produce the front page of a new school/college magazine, featuring a photograph of a student in medium close-up plus some appropriately laid-out text and a masthead. Additionally candidates must produce a DTP mock-up of the layout of the contents page to demonstrate their grasp of the program. 
Main task: the front page, contents and double page spread of a new music magazine (if done as a group task, each member of the group to produce an individual edition of the magazine, following the same house style). Maximum four members to a group. 
~ All images and text used must be original, produced by the candidate(s), minimum of FOURimages per candidate. ~
